Zoom Zoom used to live near Hontoon Island as a neighborhood cat. He was very
well-known and popular, and the neighbors always made sure he had food.
But they were concerned that he would get hit by a car, since he often
crossed a busy highway and didn't seem to understand the danger, so they
arranged for him to come to Journey's End. He got his name from the way
the cars would zoom close by him on the highway.
He told more of his story in our
December,
2006 newsletter.
Zoom Zoom was very friendly and often greeted visitors in front of the
main house or in the parking lot. He had 6 toes on each of his front paws.
Zoom Zoom lived to be very old. He got pretty thin, but he was in good
health until the end. One day he was found ailing outside. He was
brought inside but soon passed away. The vet said it was probably due to
heart failure.
